KuraDaShi Co., Ltd. released the full announcement content of the KuraChare Pitch Award 2026 held on October 30, 2026, as archived footage and a report. Twenty-seven students who participated in a socially contributive internship were divided into seven groups, presented solutions to local issues, and the project "Sado ROP (Recycling Off-grade Produce)" that operated in Sado City won the competition.
Kuradashi Co., Ltd. has added four new courses (Mixed, Red, White, Sparkling) to the Los Wine subscription, starting at 3,750 yen per order. The new courses are based on the popular "Los Wine Tasting Set," which sells about 4,600 sets annually.
Kladashi was featured in numerous television, newspaper, web, and magazine outlets in October 2026. NHK "Asaichi", TV Tokyo's "Yojigoj Days" and "Yugata Satellite", Fuji TV's "Mezamashi TV" and "Mezamashi Sunday", and BS Tele East's "Nikkei Morning Plus FT" were broadcast, while Dellow News, Fisco, VOIX biz, LOGISTICS TODAY, DIAMOND Online, Nikkei MJ, Nihon Shokuhin Shinbun, Logistics News LINEWS, BigLife21, and Japan Net Economy Newspaper were published.
Kuradashi Inc. will hold a 'Crab Festival' featuring more than 20 items such as snow crab and king crab from October 27 to 30, 2026. Coupons offering up to ¥2,000 off on selected products will be distributed, and out-of-spec and Hokkaido-grown giant snow crab will be sold to help reduce food waste.
KuraDashi Co., Ltd. has decided to stream the "KuraChare Pitch Award 2026", which will be held on October 30 at TIME SHARING Shimbashi Station Front. Participants can watch the final student reports and pitch contest in real time, and a networking session will also be held at the venue. Online participation will be via Google Meet, and the application URL is https://forms.gle/i5nBBZBhH6X9KxBe6.
Kladashi will hold a one-day recruitment event at its headquarters on November 20, 2026, targeting students graduating in 2027 and 2028 (students graduating in 2029 may also participate). Participants will work in teams to develop business proposals around the theme 'The social challenges Kladashi should tackle next' and present them to CEO Akihiro Kawamura. The event is an opportunity to learn how to turn everyday questions and discomforts into business ideas and to learn the process of proposing new ventures.
In a Kuradashi member survey, 98.8% reported feeling the food price hikes, and 63.6% said they chose defective goods or items with near expiration dates due to the price increase. If price hikes continue, 81.8% said they would increase purchases of such products. Products in five categories that were raised in October are being sold at an average discount of 59.8% from Kuradashi's reference retail price, and the company is launching a special feature compiling the target products.
Kladashi Co., Ltd. has begun selling the frozen delivery meal brand 'post chef', jointly developed with Japan Post, starting today. Orders can be placed at post office counters nationwide, via the EC site, or by phone. The service focuses on nutritional balance and taste, making it convenient for busy people and those living alone.
Cladashi Inc. will initiate a joint research program with university and graduate school seminars and labs in 2027, utilizing the Cladashi Fund to foster future social entrepreneurs. We are recruiting seminars and labs interested in joint research and support, with the application form deadline on November 23, 2026.
